Mutt & Jeff #49

Mutt & Jeff #49 delivers 52 big pages of classic comedic charm from this beloved newspaper-strip duo, with a cover by Sheldon Mayer that sets the tone perfectly. The tall, fur-coated Mutt peers down at a thoroughly battered Jeff — bandaged head, arm in a sling, foot wrapped up, leaning on a crutch — and asks if he got hurt playing on the team; Jeff's deadpan reply, "Naw — it was when the team was on ME!", says it all. Al Smith brings the interior laughs in this 1950 DC gem, a delightful ten-cent package of humor that holds up wonderfully.
